Texas State AviationFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in San Marcos, Texas
Texas State Aviation is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2049 Airport Drive in San Marcos, Texas 78666, under air agency certificate G7YS559K with location designator G7YS. The certificate holder's legal name is Gryphon Aviation Inc; the FAA record carries the trading name Texas State Aviation. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is San Marcos Regional (KHYI) at Austin, a towered field at 595 ft elevation, 7.3 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 7.3 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. The Census geocoder could not match the FAA street address to a rooftop, so this distance is measured from the 78666 ZIP-code centroid and is approximate. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Coast Flight Training and Management in San Marcos, TX at under 0.1 miles, followed by US Aviation Academy - North Texas in San Marcos at under 0.1 miles. Texas has 74 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #2 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Fort Worth (9), Denison (4) and Waco (4). 4 of the Texas entries have no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (512) 396-2212, and an agency email, office@tsaviation.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes for this location. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
